This post is to answer a lot of questions that i have answered over the years but are spread out all over the place.
As you know i have a system of incremental rewards here at DSF. I have put them in place one by one, without too much planning. Mainly, as i get the ideas for them, to be honest, so it has always kind of been a hodge podge of sorts. Well, here i will plainly state the
"loose guidelines" for each.
I. Avatars [type of guideline: loose]
To get an avatar you generally must have over 200 posts. You'll get an avatar you must have -
Between 300 - 700 posts: If you are a big contributor/uploader/link poster
1000+ posts: If you are a "comment only" poster (which is still perfectly fine).
The numbers are not set in stone because i usually will look over your post history to determine at what point you should get an avy. Of course if i see someone doing a lot of comment spamming it might even take more than 700 posts to get one.
Wild Cards
A. If you
post tits with a DSF sign or DSF written on them you will get an avatar no matter what your post count is. The tits can be any woman's except someone that has already posted their tits on DSF. If you are a woman, YES you may post your own to get your avatar. The picture has to be big enough so that i can validate the authenticity (no thumbnails) of it. If you plan to do this but don't want to post the tits in the pubic thread you can PM me the pics. After looking at them (and assuming they pass) i will allow you to post them in the private section.
B. Sometimes i will hand out "temp avatars". These are random. You can't ask for one.
Lastly, when you are awarded an avatar at this level you will get:
- An avatar of your choice - must be between 70 and 80 pixels wide/tall.
- Access to the private section
II. Sig Badges [type of guideline: strict]
1000 posts makes you eligible for a sig badge
You can read more about them
here. The requirements are as follows. You must have at least 1000 posts to be considered for a sig badge. Once you have crossed 1000 posts i will look over your post history and see if you earned a sig badge in any of the categories. You may earn more sig badges in different categories even after the initial awarding of the sig badge. Read more
here.
7/22/2012: I am currently going through the sig badges to make sure that everyone has the ones they deserve. Most of us are overdue. This is a work in progress. Also investigating ways to make new ones.
III. Custom User Titles [type of guideline: strict]
1000 posts makes you eligible for a custom user title
When you cross
1000 posts i will give you a custom User Title (title under your name). The title is chosen by me... often it is random but i try to keep them in the spirit of that user. You can't ask me for a specific title but you can often suggest one for someone else via PM.
7/22/2012: Work in progress, stay tuned.
IV. Smiley in Your User Title [type of guideline: strict]
5,000 posts gives you the option of having a smiley in your user title.
It can be up to 40x40 and
can be animated (no file size restrictions).
There are thousands of smileys to choose from and there is surely one to fit every person's personality or mood.
Smileys must:
- be 40x40 or smaller
- if it is rectangular the dimensions can exceed 40x40 pending my approval
- the term "smiley" loosely refers to a smiley face but can be any small character or cartoon (no real pics)
7/21/2012: I'm hoping we can bring this back. It's being looked into.
V. Larger Avatar [type of guideline: strict]
10,000 posts gives you the option of a larger avatar.
At this point you may choose an avatar up to 95x95 pixels (or thereabouts if it is rectangular)
VI. Self Chosen Custom User Title [type of guideline: strict]
12,500 posts gives you the option of having whatever you want in your user title. No longer will you be subject to my whim when it comes to your user title. You can change it as often as you want. It can say whatever you want it to say (within reason).
7/22/2012: I'm not sure if this was ever even implemented for anyone. It was definitely stopped after a point. I don't believe we are going to bring this back if so.
VII. Next Larger Avatar [type of guideline: strict]
15,000 posts give you the option of having an avatar up to 110x110 pixels (or thereabouts if it is rectangular).
Again, these are the guidelines as of July 22, 2012. I have resized everyone's avatar to properly categorize them to how they should be sized based on your posting level as of 7/22/2012. If you do not like the clarity of your avy, pm me as I have a backup of your last avy.
